Internal Security
Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland,

Tripura and Sikkim, presents an intricate cultural and
ethnic mosaic with over 200 ethnic groups with distinct
languages, dialects and socio-cultural identity. The NE
Region covers 8% of the country's landmass and has
4% of the National population. The security situation in
some of the North Eastern States, which has remained
complex for quite some time because of diverse
demands advocated by various militant outfits, has
shown overall improvement in terms of reduction in
violent incidents, civilians killed and SFs killed etc., in
2013 and 2014. However, in Assam casualties have
gone up due to terrorist attacks by anti-talk faction of
National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB/
Songbijit group) in December, 2014. While comparing
the situation of last eight years, violent incidents have
come down from 1,489 in 2007 to 824 in 2014 and the
number of civilians killed has come down from 498 to
212 during the same period.
OVERVIEW
2.1.1
Internal security situation in the country
broadly refers to the following problems:(i)
Terrorism in the hinterland of the Country.
(ii)
Cross-Border terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir.
(iii) Militancy in the North Eastern States

(iv) Left Wing Extremism in certain states.
2.1.2
During the year 2014, the internal security
situation of the country, with special reference to
terrorism, militancy and insurgency, showed significant
improvement. During the period 01.01.2014 to
31.12.2014, only three minor terrorist incidents occurred
in the hinterland of the country; the first was a bomb blast
in a stationary train at Chennai Central Railway Station
on 01.05.2014, wherein one person was killed, the
second was an accidental blast in a bomb making unit at
Burdwan in West Bengal on 02.10.2014, wherein two
persons were killed and the third was on 27.12.2014 in
Bengaluru in which one person was killed.
2.1.5
The declining trend in the quantum of Left
Wing Extremist (LWE) violence as well as the resultant
killings, which started in 2011 (1,760 incidents/611
killings) has continued in 2013 (1,136 incidents /397
killings). This indicates a 34% decrease in the number of
incidents and 35% decrease in the number of deaths in
2013 as compared to 2011. But in the year 2014 (upto
December) the number of incidents and deaths have
shown an increase over the corresponding period of
2013. This was due to General Elections related LWE
violence. However, LWE insurgency has to be seen from
a long-term perspective since short-term fluctuations in
violence profile is a recurring phenomenon.
2.1.3
The State of Jammu and Kashmir comprises
three geographically distinct regions viz. the plains of
Jammu, the valley of Kashmir and the plateau of
Ladakh. J&K has been affected by terrorist and
secessionist violence, sponsored and supported from
across-the border for more than two decades. The level
of terrorist violence and encounters in the hinterland of
J&K are inextricably linked to the infiltration attempts
from across the border. However, the security situation
in J&K has witnessed significant improvement in recent
years. Although in 2014 there is a slight increase in the
number of terrorist incidents and the causalities of SFs
in comparison with 2013, our SFs were able to
neutralise 110 militants in 2014 as against 67 in 2013.

an increase in terrorist incidents and casualties of
civilians as compared to the previous year. However,
causalities of security forces personnel decreased in
comparison to 2013. The year 2014 witnessed a 30.58%
increase and 86.66% increase in the number of terrorist
incidents and casualties of civilians in comparison to the
year 2013. However, there is a 11.32% decrease in
Security Forces (SFs) fatalities in the year 2014 in
comparison to the previous year. Moreover, 64.18%
2.2.3
The ongoing militancy in the State of J&K is
intrinsically linked with infiltration of terrorists from
across the border both from the "International Border"
as well as the "Line of Control" in J&K. The reported
infiltration attempts made in J&K since 2011 are given in
the table below:

synergized intelligence flow to check infiltration and proactive action against terrorists within the State. The
Government has adopted various tactical and
operational strategies to degrade the efforts and
capabilities of militants to disturb peace in the State. It
has also encouraged policies to mainstream the youth
and discourage them from joining militancy.
2.2.4
During the year 2014, infiltration attempts
decreased by 19.85%, in comparison to the previous
year.
2.2.5

reviewed by the Chief Minister of J&K in the Unified
Headquarters/ Command with senior representatives of
the State Government, Army, Central Armed Police
Forces (CAPFs) and other security agencies. The
Ministry of Home Affairs also monitors the security
situation closely and continuously in addition to the

2.2.7
2.2.6

State Government, have adopted a multi-pronged
approach to contain cross border infiltration. This interalia, includes strengthening of border management,
multi-tiered and multi modal deployment along the
International Border/Line of Control and infiltration
routes, construction of border fencing, improved
technology, weapons and equipments for SFs,
improved intelligence and operational coordination and

LEFT WING EXTREMISTS (LWE) INSURGENCY

Overview
2.4.1 Left Wing Extremist (LWE) Insurgency has been
prevalent in certain parts of India for some decades now.
The problem assumed serious proportions, after the
formation of CPI(Maoist) party in 2004, consequent to
the merger of prominent naxal factions. The worst LWE
affected States are Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha
and Bihar. The LWE problem also exists in certain
pockets in the States of Maharashtra, West Bengal,
Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
The Front Organizations of LWE are active in around 10
States of India. The CPI (Maoist) continues to remain
the most dominant and violent LWE group, accounting
for more than 80% of the violence and the killings. The
State-wise break up of violence profile of LWE
insurgency is given in the following table:-

view to the people by addressing it on the security and
development fronts. The media has proved to be a
potent instrument in creating awareness among the
target population about the socio-economic
developmental schemes of the Government and their
rights & entitlements. The media has helped to highlight
LWE activities to make people aware as to how LWE
violence is preventing implementation of the schemes,
policies and initiatives of the Government. Under the

Conclusion
2.4.19
It is the belief of Government of India that
through a combination of development and security
related interventions, the LWE problem can be
successfully tackled. However, it is clear that the
Maoists do not want root causes like under development
to be addressed in a meaningful manner since they
resort to targeting school buildings, roads, railways,
bridges, health infrastructure, communication facilities
etc in a major way. They wish to keep the population in
their areas of influence marginalized to perpetuate their
outdated ideology. Consequently, the process of
development has been set back by decades in many
parts of the country under LWE influence. This needs to
be recognised by the civil society and the media to build
pressure on the Maoists to eschew violence, join the
mainstream and recognise the fact that the socioeconomic and political dynamics and aspirations of 21st
Century India are far removed from the Maoist worldview. The Government is optimistic of eradicating the
LWE problem through the strategic vision articulated
above. It is worth mentioning that due to the measures
initiated by the Government, LWE violence has
significantly declined in the last three years i.e. 2011,
2012 & 2013. The multi-pronged efforts of the
Government are showing positive impact and results.

status in social and public life continues to exist which
generates serious concern for its likely impact on
national governance. The threat from terrorist/ militant
groups has continued to increase over time making it
imperative to provide adequate security to VIPs and
other high dignitaries. As the threat to security of VIPs is
an ever-increasing phenomenon, the security review is

China border.
Indian Navy and Coast Guard are vested with

the responsibility of coastal borders, where
the State (Marine) Police is acting as the
second line of defence.
Objective of Border Management
3.5.1 Approach and practices of border management

vary from one border to another, based on the security
perceptions and relationship with the neighboring
country.
3.3
Securing the country's borders against
interests hostile to the country and putting in place the
systems that are able to interdict such elements while
facilitating legitimate trade and commerce are among
the principal objectives of border management. The
proper management of borders, which is vital to the
national security, presents many challenges and
includes coordination and concerted action by the
administrative, diplomatic, security, intelligence, legal,
regulatory and economic agencies of the country to
secure the frontiers and serve its best interests.
MANAGEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL BORDERS

INDO-BANGLADESH BORDER (IBB)
Border-Out Posts
3.6
Border Out Posts (BOPs) are the main
workstation of the BSF along the borders. These are self
- contained defence out-posts with a specified area of
responsibility established along the entire continuum of
land borders. Inter-alia, the BOPs are meant to provide
appropriate show of force to deter trans-border
criminals, infiltrators and the hostile elements from
indulging in the activities of intrusion/ encroachment
and border violations. Each BOP is provided with the
necessary infrastructure for accommodation, logistic
support and combat functions. At present, 802 BOPs
exist along the IBB.
3.4
As part of the strategy to secure the borders as
also to create infrastructure in the border areas of the
country, several initiatives have been undertaken by the
Department of Border Management. These include
construction of the fence, floodlighting & roads along the
Indo-Pakistan and the Indo-Bangladesh borders,
construction of roads along the Indo-China and the
Indo- Nepal borders, development of Integrated Check
Posts (ICPs) at various locations on the international
borders of the country and measures taken to
strengthen the Coastal Security. In addition, various
developmental works in the border areas have been
undertaken by the Department under the BADP as part
of a comprehensive approach to the border
management.
3.7
In order to reduce the inter-Border Out-Post
(BOP) distance to 3.5 km, a proposal for the
construction of additional 509 BOPs (total BOPs along
IPB and IBB), at an estimated cost of ` 1,832.50 crore
was approved by the Government on 16.02.2009. Out of

Indo-Bangladesh border. The project was targeted to be
completed by 2013-14. However, the work has been
spilled over due to constraints like public protest, delay
in the land acquisition and statutory clearances etc.
Government of India had sanctioned the construction of

border fencing with floodlights in two phases. The total
length of Indo-Bangladesh border sanctioned for
fencing is 3,326.14 km; out of which about 2,828 km of
fencing has so far been completed (up to 31.12.2014).
There have been some problems in the construction of
fencing in certain stretches on this border due to
riverine/low lying areas, habitations within 150 yards of
the border, pending land acquisition cases and protests
by the border population, which has led to a delay in the
completion of the project.
3.8
Out of the total of 383 Border Out-Posts (BOPs),
the construction in respect of 65 BOPs has been
completed and the work in other 78 BOPs is in progress.
For the remaining BOPs, the land acquisition process is
in progress and the work will commence soon after the
acquisition of the land.
Fencing
3.9
In order to curb the infiltration, smuggling and
other anti-national activities from across the IndoBangladesh border, the Government has undertaken
the construction of fencing along this border.
3.10
The Indian side of the Indo-Bangladesh border
passes through West Bengal (2,216.7 km), Assam (263
km), Meghalaya (443 km), Tripura (856 km) and
Mizoram (318 km). The entire stretch consists of plains,
riverine belts, hills & jungles. The area is heavily
populated and is cultivated right upto the border.
3.11
The Indo-Bangladesh border is marked by a
high degree of porosity and the checking of illegal cross
border activities and illegal migration from Bangladesh
in to India have been major challenges. In order to
prevent illegal migration and illegal activities, including
anti-national activities from across the border, the

Indo-Pakistan Border (IPB)
3.14
During the period from December 2003 to June
2006, works of installation of floodlights on the fence of
277 km has been completed in West Bengal as a pilot
project. In order to carry forward this initiative, the
Government has decided to undertake the work of
installation of floodlights in the States of West Bengal,
Meghalaya, Assam, Mizoram and Tripura along the
2,840.90 km of the Indo-Bangladesh border at an
estimated cost of ` 1,327 crore. The progress of
floodlighting work (as on 31.12.2014) along IndoBangladesh border is as follows:
3.15
India shares 3,323 km of its land border with
Pakistan. This border runs along the States of Gujarat,
Rajasthan, Punjab and J&K. The Indo-Pakistan border
has varied terrain and distinct geographical features.
This border is characterized by attempts of infiltration by
the terrorists and smuggling of the arms, ammunition
and contraband; the LoC being the most active and live
portion of the border.
Border Out Posts (BOPs)
3.16
Presently, 609 BOPs already existing along the
IPB and additional 126 BOPs (including upgradation of
38 BOPs in Jammu) along the Indo-Pakistan border
have been sanctioned to reduce the inter-Border Out
Post (BOP) distance to 3.5 km. The construction of
these additional BOPs will provide the entire necessary
infrastructure for the accommodation, logistic support
and the combat functions of the BSF troops deployed on
the Indo-Pakistan border. The project was targeted to be
completed by 2013-14. However, the work has been
spilled over due to constraint like public protests, delay
in the land acquisition and statutory clearances etc.

India and Myanmar share unfenced border of
1,643 km adjoining the North-Eastern States of
Arunachal Pradesh (520 km), Nagaland (215 km),
Manipur (398 km) and Mizoram (510 km) and permit a
Free Movement Regime upto 16 km across the border.
This makes the International Border extremely porous.
The border runs along the hilly and inhospitable terrain
which grossly lacks the basic infrastructure and
provides adequate cover to the illegal activities of
various Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs).
Issues faced in Border works along the IPB in

Gujarat State
3.21
It is evident from the above details that the
border fencing and floodlighting works along the entire
stretch of Indo-Pakistan border has been completed
except for a small part of pending work in Gujarat sector
of the Indo-Pak border.
3.22
There has been time overrun in completing the
projects due to unforeseen circumstances and natural
calamities including the devastating earthquake in
2001, unprecedented rains and consequential floods in
2003, 2006 & 2011. The small part of work of fencing
and floodlighting is held up in Gujarat sector due to
water logging in the area. The cost of the project has
also increased considerably due to price escalation,
increase in the scope of work, up-gradation of
specifications of roads, electrical works, etc.
3.26
In order to check the problem of increased
militant activities in the Indo-Myanmar border area, the
Government of India has initiated a work to fence the
area between Boundary Pillar No. 79 to 81 on the IndoMyanmar Border (approx. 10 km). The Government has
allocated a fund of ` 30.96 crore for the fencing work. In
order to start the fencing work land has been acquired
and all the necessary clearances have been obtained
from the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The
Government has released fund of ` 16.38 crore to
Border Road Organization (BRO) which is executing
agency and the fencing work on the stretch of 4.02 km
has been completed.
3.23
A pilot project for construction of roads, fence,
and installation of floodlights along the length of 1 km of
water logged area by using improved technology has
been sanctioned by the Ministry in order to complete the
3.26.1 The fencing work has been stopped due to local

protests. The Government of Manipur has now
proposed to conduct re-survey of boundary line
between BP No. 79-81.

3.29
India and Nepal share an open border of 1,751
kms which include borders with the States of
Uttarakhand (275 kms), Uttar Pradesh (551 kms), Bihar
(726 kms), West Bengal (100 kms) and Sikkim (99 kms).
The main challenges are to check misuse of open border
by the terrorists and criminals for illegal and anti-national
activities and to improve the security along this border.
Indo-Bhutan Border
3.35
To improve the security environment along this
border measuring 669 km, the SSB have been deployed
as the Border Guard Force.
3.36
A bilateral mechanism in the shape of a
Secretary level India-Bhutan Group on Border
Management and Security exists. This mechanism has
proved to be very useful in assessing threat perceptions
of the two countries from the groups attempting to take
advantage of this open border and in discussing ways of
improving the security environment along the border
areas.
3.30
To facilitate bilateral dialogue on matters of
mutual concern regarding border management,
Governments of India and Nepal have decided to
constitute an institutionalised mechanism in the form of
Home Secretary-level talks and Joint Working Group at
the level of Joint Secretaries. In addition, there is a
mechanism of Border District Coordination Committees
at the level of district officials of the two countries. These
mechanisms serve as platforms for discussing the
issues of mutual concern such as containing the crossborder crimes, smuggling, situations arising out of
terrorist activities, at the national and regional/local
levels.
3.37
The Government of India has approved the
construction of 313 km of border roads along the IndoBhutan border at a cost of ` 1,259 crore. The
construction work on these roads has yet not started
due to pending land acquisition.
BORDER AREA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
(BADP)
3.31
In order to meet the operational requirements of
the SSB which is the Border Guarding Force, the
Government has approved the construction and upgradation of 1,377 km of strategic roads along the IndoNepal border in the States of Uttarakhand (173 km),
Uttar Pradesh (640 km) and Bihar (564 km) at an
estimated cost of ` 3,853 crore.
3.38
The Department of Border Management has
been implementing a Border Area Development
Programme (BADP) through the State Governments as
part of a comprehensive approach to the border
management. The aim of BADP is to meet the special
developmental needs of the people living in the remote
and inaccessible areas situated near the international
borders and to saturate the border areas with the
essential infrastructure through a convergence of the
Central/State/BADP/Local schemes and participatory
approach, and to promote a sense of security and well
being among the border population. The programme
covers 367 border blocks in 104 border districts of 17
States located along the international land borders. The
programme is a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme.
The funds are provided to the States as non-lapsable
3.32
The High Level Empowered Committee (HLEC)
has approved the proposal for the up-gradation/
construction of 552.30 km of roads in Bihar which is the

Agencies for coastal security
3.55
The Coast Guard has been specifically tasked
to evolve Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in
close consultation with all the stakeholders, so as to
develop coordination and assist in unhindered flow of
information amongst the agencies.
3.56
The coastal security exercises are conducted
by the Coast Guard with the coastal States/UTs
biannually and SOPs are validated during the conduct
of these exercises. Post-exercises, de-brief chaired by
the Chief Secretaries/Administrators of coastal States
are organized which are attended by all the stakeholders. Lessons learnt are deliberated and

3.61
Coastal security exercises like 'Sagar Kavach'
coordinated by Indian Coast Guard along with Coastal
States/UTs and Customs are held every 6 months to
improve preparedness of the all coastal States/UTs and
other concerned agencies. Such exercises have been
very useful in creating synergy. Modalities have been
worked out to disseminate the shortcomings and
lessons learnt in each exercise for the benefit of all
stakeholders. During such exercises, meetings are
regularly held with fisherman to sensitize them about all
aspects of coastal security. Post 26/11, 105 security
exercises have been conducted upto 31.12.2014.
3.58
In addition, Indian Coast Guard has been
undertaking community interactions programmes for
the fishermen to bring in awareness about safety issues

DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATED CHECK POSTS

(ICPs)
3.71
Good border management is mandated by
India's security concerns and, therefore, it is necessary
to install systems which address these concerns while
also facilitating the trade and commerce. There are
several designated entry and exit points on the
international borders of the country through which
cross-border movement of persons, goods and traffic
takes place.
Registration of Vessels/Boats
3.67
It was decided in June, 2009, to have a uniform
registration of fishing vessels of less than 20 meter
overall lengths. The uniform registration is done under
Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 by the States/UTs. All the
sailing vessels above 20 meters length are mandatorily
required to be fitted with AIS equipment. If the same is
not fitted, then the registration of such vessels on an
annual basis will not be done. A total of 1,91,559 fishing
vessels have been registered under the new online
registration system upto 31.12.2014.
3.72
The existing infrastructure available with the
Customs, Immigration and other regulatory agencies at
these points on our land borders is generally
inadequate. Support facilities like warehouses, parking
lots, banks, hotels etc are also either inadequate or
absent. All regulatory and support functions are
generally inadequate and generally not available in one
complex. Even when these are located in close
proximity, there is no single agency responsible for a
coordinated functioning of various government
authorities/service providers.
Tracking System (transponders) for Boats

3.68
Director General, Shipping has issued two
circulars to ensure installation of Automatic
Identification System (AIS) Type B transponders in all
types of vessels including fishing vessels of above 20
metres in length.

the Council in a meeting, are decided by consensus,
and the decision of the Chairman as to the consensus is
final. The Council has not been assigned the duty
envisaged in clause (a) of Article 263 of the Constitution
namely, inquiring into and advising upon disputes,
which may have arisen between States.
4.1.3 In a federal polity, in view of large areas of

common interest and shared action between the
constituent units, coordination between their policies
and their implementation become extremely important.

Role and Functions

4.15
The Zonal Councils, five in number, are
statutory bodies which have been set up under the
States Re-organisation Act, 1956 to provide a common
meeting ground to the States and UTs in each zone for
resolution of inter-State and Zonal problems, fostering
balanced socio-economic regional development and
building harmonious Centre-State relations. Each Zonal
Council has set up a Standing Committee consisting of
Chief Secretaries of the member States of their
respective Zonal Councils. These Standing Committees
meet from time to time to resolve the issues or to do
necessary ground work for further meetings of the Zonal
Councils. Senior Officers of the Planning Commission
and other Central Ministries are also associated with the
meetings depending upon necessity.
Reconstitution of the Inter State Council and

Standing Committee of the Inter State Council:
Proposal has been submitted to the Government
for the same and under consideration of PMO. An
advance copy of the letter has also been sent to
States, seeking formal references/agenda for
next meeting of Inter-State Council.
Convening of the Zonal Councils and Standing

Committees of the Zonal Councils: Efforts were
made to call the Zonal Council for the Northern
Zone in Lucknow and Western Zone in
Gandhinagar but the meetings have been
postponed. They have to be reconvened. Files
have been submitted for consideration of
Government.
A proposal for reactivation of the Zonal Councils

and their alignment to the Inter-State Council,
is under preparation and will be ready shortly.
Process for the study of recommendations of

various Commissions including M.M Punchhi

and will be completed soon.
Strengthening of Inter State Council and

reactivation of Zonal Council will require some
changes in Article 263 of the constitution as well
as States Reorganization Act, 1956 and Rules.
Steps are being taken in this direction.
Creation of a policy advisory group in the

Secretariat is mooted to advise and facilitate
studies for policy action in matters of public

The Ministry of Home Affairs also issued an
advisory on 25.04. 2011 to all States/UTs urging them to
take stringent measures against persons of non-SCs/
STs background employing manual scavengers. Para 3
of the said advisory clearly states:-
5.15

'Vigorous and conscientious enforcement of the

statutor y provisions and the existing
legislations relating to crimes against
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
should be undertaken.

Further, in terms of Scheduled Castes and

Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,
1989, any act done to violate the dignity of a
member of a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled
Tribe by a non-Scheduled Caste or nonScheduled Tribe person would amount to an
offence under Section 3 (1) (iii) of the Act. It may
be noted that engaging or employing a member
of a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe to
clean, handle or carrying human excreta
amounts to violating his or her dignity and
therefore, may fall within the ambit of Clause (iii)
of Sub Section (1) of Section 3 of the Act.
Therefore, such cases of manual scavenging
may be pursued under appropriate Sections of
the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
(Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989.'

7.72
Delhi, being the capital of the country, has been
developing at a rapid pace. This rapid urbanization has
also led to certain factors which have a bearing on the
crime rate in the city. The large expansion of new
colonies like Dwarka, Rohini etc. and thousands of
unplanned colonies are important crimogenic factors,
particularly in respect of street crimes like robbery and
snatching. Other factors responsible for crime include
socio-economic imbalances, proximity in location of
colonies of the affluent and the under-privileged, urban
anonymity encouraging deviant behaviour, loosening of
social structures and family control, adverse sex ratio
(866 female/1000 male), easy accessibility/means of
escape available to criminal elements from across the
borders and extended hinterland in the NCR region. In
the current year, Delhi Police continued with the path
breaking initiative of pro-active registration of crime.
Delhi Police machinery has been suitably sensitized,
enthused and monitored to ensure truthful registration
of complaints. The registered IPC crime rose to 80,184
in 2013 as against 54,287 cases registered during the
year 2012. The crime registration from 01.04.2014 to

islanders. Therefore, connectivity is a major issue both
with mainland and also between the islands. With a view
to augment the shipping services in Andaman &
Nicobar Islands, the UT Administration is vigorously
pursuing the ship acquisition plan through which a total
of 25 ships will be acquired during the 12th Five Year

2014-15
8.16.4
The CAPF personnel are rendering valuable
services in maintenance of internal security and
guarding of international borders. Sometimes, while
being a part of anti terrorist/moist combats or some
other internal security operations, they could either
loose a limb or even perform the supreme sacrifice and
lay down their lives. Considering these hard realities, the
CAPFs have raised their own contributory welfare
schemes in addition to the scheme of the Government.
Under these schemes, Welfare Fund, Relief Fund,
Insurance Fund and Education Fund have been
created. In addition to this, the Government sanctions a
substantial amount every year for the welfare of CAPFs
personnel and grants ex-gratia and family pension to the
Next-of-Kin (NoK).
Kerala, Chandigarh, Sikkim, Punjab, Himachal

Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat have granted VAT
exemption to CPFCS.

Further, without compromising the quality,
more than 400 reputed manufacturer/firms have been
enlisted /registered with the Central Police Canteen
(CPC) for providing a wide range of products of good
quality to the beneficiaries. The annual turnover of
CPFCS is on an increasing trend. The turnover for the
financial year 2014-15 (upto 31.12.2014) is `880.70
crore as against `890.48 crore for the full year 2013-14.

8.16.5
On 17.05.2007, a Welfare and Rehabilitation
Board (WARB) was also established to provide an
institutionalized mechanism to look into the welfare and
rehabilitation requirements of CAPF personnel. The
task of the WARB initially is to lend an immediate
helping hand to the dependents of the personnel dying
in harness and those disabled by extending help to
resolve personal problems relating to childrens
education, land/propertys issues, serious medical
problems, etc. At present, 06 Central Welfare Officers
(CWO), 29 State Welfare Officers (SWO) and 137
District Welfare Officers (DWO) are functioning
throughout the country for the welfare of CAPFs
personnel.

The CAPFs personnel, while performing their
extremely tough duties, stay away from their families for
years and are not in a position to fulfil their family
commitments. Their Children get deprived of the
requisite paternal support. Considering this, Prime
Ministers Merit Scholarship Scheme has been
introduced to encourage higher technical and
professional education for the wards and widows of inservice and ex-CAPF personnel. Under this Scheme,
each year a total of 910 scholarships for pursuing
education in the field of Medicine, Engineering,
Information Technology, etc. are considered in addition
to renewal cases of previous year.

TRAINING OF POLICE
9.2.2
A vital role has been played by NCRB in this
field. An intensive programme has been launched for
training the State Police Officers in various aspects of
crime records management including finger prints and
technical training on computers and computer centre
management.
NATIONAL CRIME RECORDS BUREAU

9.2.1
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) was
set up in 1986 to function as a clearing house of
information on crime and criminals including those
operating at national and international levels so as to
assist the investigators and others by linking crime to the
perpetrators, collection and processing of crime
statistics and finger prints, coordinate, guide and assist
the State Crime Record Bureaux and provide training to
police officers. NCRB endeavors to empower Indian
Police with Information Technology and Criminal
Intelligence to enable them to effectively and efficiently
enforce the law & improve public service delivery. This is
achieved through coordination with Police Forces at
National & International levels, upgradation of crime
analysis technology and developing IT capability and IT
enabled solutions.
9.2.3
NCRB has been conducting courses on
Information Technology and Finger Print Science for
Indian Police Officers since 1986 as well as for Foreign
Police Officers since 1990. The response of the States
and Central Police Organisations to these training
programmes has been very encouraging and the
annual turn-over of trainees has been rising
continuously every year. On an average NCRB
conducts about 22-24 courses every year.
9.2.4
The following courses were conducted at the
NCRB, during the period from 01.04.2014 to

9.2.10 Reports are generated for the use of Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI) the Nodal Agency for FICN
and Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CFIB). As
on 31.12.2014 database of 11,53,111 seized and
recovered FICN is available at NCRB database. Started
since 2003, all States/RBI are sending data regularly.
9.2.5
The training needs of the States are much
larger than what the NCRB can cope with, given its
existing resources. The scheme for decentralization of
training at regional level under the guidance of the
NCRB was approved by the MHA. These Police Training
Centres (PCTCs) had been set up at four places
(Kolkata, Lucknow, Gandhinagar and Hyderabad) in the
country and are conducting training programmes since
1990 as an extension to the NCRB training. These
centres are able to cater to the training needs of
operational personnel of rank of Sub-Inspector to Dy.SP.
Motor Vehicle Coordination System (MVCS)

9.2.11 Motor vehicle Coordination System is
designed for coordination of stolen and recovered motor
vehicles as well as inquiries related to them. It is also
being used by general public to ascertain the status of a
used vehicle before entering into any transaction. A new
online motor vehicle coordination system "Vahan
Samanvay" has been introduced w.e.f. 11.03.2014. This
online system enables police to enter details of
lost/recovered motor vehicle online. On the other hand,
Regional Transport Offices and Insurance Companies
can verify status of a motor vehicle. While the Police
/RTOs and Insurance Companies can access the
"Vahan Samanvay" through secured login/password,
the general public can verify the status of their vehicle
without login or password. Apart from motor vehicle
enquiry counters spread PAN- India , the general public
is heavily using online enquiry and on an average
approximately 4,800 people are accessing the on line
enquiry. Many States/UTs are now feeding data online
and approx. 10,000 lost/recovered vehicle data is being
entered online. All RTOs of Delhi and many RTOs of
Rajasthan, U.P., U.K. Kerala West Bengal are now
verifying a vehicle status on line using "Vahan
Samanvay".
9.2.6
On the advice of the NCRB and as per the
periodical guidelines including training materials
provided by it, the State Crime Records Bureaux are
running some training courses and have introduced
computer training modules in Police Training Colleges/
Schools for the recruits.

mitigation, capacity building, preparedness, response,

relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation. The approach
stems from the conviction that development cannot be
sustainable unless disaster mitigation is built in the
development process.
OVERVIEW
10.1
India is vulnerable to various natural hazards,
including floods, droughts, cyclones, earthquakes,
landslides, avalanches and forest fire. About 58.6%
landmass is prone to earthquakes of moderate to very
high intensity; 12% land is prone to flood and river
erosion; out of the 7,516 km of the coastline, 5,700 km is
prone to cyclones and tsunamis; 68% of cultivable land
is vulnerable to drought. Mountainous and hilly areas
have the risk due to landslides and avalanches. Fire
incidents, industrial accidents and other human induced
hazards involving chemical, biological and radioactive
materials add to the vulnerability. This underscores the
need for strengthening mitigation, capacity building,
preparedness and response measures in various
sectors.
National Disaster Management Authority

specialist team of Armed forces, Central Armed Police
Forces and personnel of National Disaster Response
Force, arrangements for relief materials and essential
commodities including medical stores, restoration of
critical infrastructure facilities including communication
network and such other assistance as may be required
by the affected States to meet the situation effectively.
10.6
NDMA, since its constitution, has released
guidelines on various hazards and themes like PsychoSocial and Mental Health Services in Disasters,
Earthquakes, Incident Response System, Tsunami,
Drought, Urban Flooding, Cyclone, Floods, Landslides,
Snow Avalanches, Medical Preparedness, Mass
Casualty Management, Nuclear and Radiological
Emergencies, Chemical Disaster and Biological
Disaster, etc.
State Disaster Management Plans

Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI )
13.10
Government of India had introduced the
Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) Card and the Person of
Indian Origin (PIO) Card to facilitate visa-free travel to
India as well as to provide the rights of residency and
participation in business and educational activities in
India. The OCI Scheme is operational since 02.12.2005.
The application form, procedure brochure and updated
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) have been hosted
on the Ministrys website (http://mha.nic.in). The
Scheme has generated a very enthusiastic response
from the Indian Diaspora. 17,18,498 persons have
been granted OCI registration as on 31.12.2014.
1,71,046 OCI cards have been issued during the period
from 01.04.2014 to 31.12.2014.
13.11
By simultaneous existence of Overseas
Citizenship of India (OCI) & Person of Indian Origin
(PIO) Cards, a lot of confusion was prevailing among the
persons of Indian Origin residing abroad. For simplifying
the whole process and for giving more benefits to Indian
Diaspora across the World, Honble Prime Minister had
announced in USA and Australia during his recent visits
that PIO and OCI Cards will be merged and the Indian
Diaspora will be given maximum possible benefits.
Keeping in view the promise made by Honble Prime
Minister, an Ordinance was promulgated on
06.01.2015, whereby the eligibility and additional
benefits of PIO Cards have been incorporated in OCI
card and certain other relaxations have been given to
OCI Card Holders by amending the Citizenship Act,
1955. Subsequently on 09.01.2015, PIO card
notification has been withdrawn with immediate effect
and further it has been notified that all existing PIO card
holders will deem to be OCI card holders from
09.01.2015. Now only one OCI card with enhanced
benefits is in existence. This is going to fulfil the long
cherished demand of Indian Diaspora abroad.

Honouring Freedom Fighters
under the Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension

Scheme, 1980 by relaxing the eligibility conditions. The
Shroff Committee (from 1985 to 1996) listed 98 border
camps and recommended about 7,000 cases. Pension
was sanctioned in all the cases recommended by the
Shroff Committee.
13.22
As per the convention, on the anniversary of
the Quit India Movement, Honble President of India Shri
Pranab Mukherjee hosted a reception At Home in the
Rashtrapati Bhawan on 09.08.2014 and honoured
some of the freedom fighters from various States and
Union Territories with Angvastram. In addition, the
freedom fighter invitees were felicitated with a shawl
and a small gift. 90 freedom fighters from various parts
of the country attended this function and interacted with
the President.
13.24
Subsequently in December 1996, another
Screening Committee was appointed under the
Chairmanship of Shri N. Giri Prasad and on passing
away of Shri Giri Prasad, Ch. Rajeshwara Rao was
appointed Chairman of the Screening Committee in
June 1997. The Ch. Rajeswara Rao Committee (from
1997 to 1998) recommended about 13,500 cases. In
July, 2004, the Ministry of Home Affairs recognized 18
additional border camps. In January, 2005, the

(estimated in 1985) to about 15,000, with the stipulation
that only those applicants who participated in the
Hyderabad Liberation Movement up to 15.09.1948, i.e.

On the basis of complaints received
regarding bogus claimants and subsequent enquiry
conducted by the Director General (Vigilance and
Enforcement), it was decided that all the cases
recommended by the Ch. Rajeswara Rao Committee
would be referred to the State Governments for reverification. It was laid down that each case, including
those already sanctioned, will be thoroughly re-verified
and, thereafter, a Committee of Eminent Freedom
Fighters would scrutinize the results of the reverification and finalize its recommendations, ensuring
that no fake claimant gets pension and no genuine
freedom fighter is overlooked. The State Governments
were also requested to give specific recommendations
in each case. The State Governments were further
requested that the following factors should be kept in
mind while verifying the claims:

Fighters (SCEFF) has been constituted in May, 2009
under the Chairmanship of Shri Boinapally Venkat
Rama Rao to scrutinize the re-verified cases relating to
Border Camp sufferers during the Hyderabad
Liberation Movement. The Committee has started
scrutinizing the re-verification reports from the State
Governments. As on 31.12.2014, a total of 3,802 reverification reports have been received from the State
Governments. All re-verification reports have been
scrutinized in the Ministry; pension has been
sanctioned in 875 cases on the recommendation of the
Committee and 32 cases referred back to the State
Government and the remaining cases have been
rejected due to non-fulfilment of the eligibility criteria of
the Scheme.
13.31
The Phase-III After the general slaughter of
the Satyagrahis of the second phase of the movement,
there arose an unprecedented resentment against the
Portuguese rule in the minds of the young patriots of the
soil who had deep faith in armed rebellion. The leaders
of this Movement were also arrested, tried and
sentenced to 10 to 28 years of rigorous imprisonment.
13.32
The Central Government recognised the Goa
Liberation Movement for grant of pension under the
Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme, 1980.
Pension was granted to all the living Batch Leaders of
the first and third phases of the Movement who had
been arrested, tried and punished with 10 to 28 years of
rigorous imprisonment by the Portuguese Government
and the Martial Law Court.
Goa Liberation Movement
13.33
Phase-I and Phase-III Movements have
already been recognised for the purpose of grant of
pension under the SSS Pension Scheme, 1980. As
regards participants of Phase-II, they participated in
Satyagraha on the Goan territory. However, they were
neither arrested nor imprisoned. Despite that, in
February, 2003, the Government of India relaxed the
eligibility criteria under the Swatantrata Sainik Samman
Pension Scheme, 1980 to grant pension to those
freedom fighers of Phase-II of the Goa Liberation
Movement who had been sanctioned State freedom
fighters pension before or upto 01.08.2002 by the State
Governments of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Goa,
Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
13.28
It is a known fact that the movement for
liberation of Goa lasted for many years. Large number
of freedom fighters had undergone severe punishment
at the hands of the Portuguese authorities. The
movement for the liberation of Goa was spread over
three phases as follows:
1.
Phase-I
From 1946 to 1953
2.
Phase-II
From 1954 to 1955
3.
Phase-III
From 1955 to 1961
13.29
The Phase-I was organized in 1946. All the
participants (satyagrahis) of this Movement were from
within the Goan Territory i.e. Goa, Diu, Daman, Dadra
and Nagar Haveli. This Movement was launched on the
principle of non-violence but was on small scale. The
participant satyagrahis with their leaders were arrested,

amount to the pensioners. The excess payments have

been recovered by the banks and so far an amount of
`33.5 crores upto 31.12.2014 has been deposited in
Central exchequer towards the excess and wrong
payment made by the banks.
Policy Initiatives
13.35
The following initiatives have been taken by
the Ministry of Home Affairs to streamline the Samman
Pension Scheme:-
13.35.5 In view of the aforementioned variation in the

number and considering that the annual outgo on
account of Central Samman Pension is about `800
crore, it becomes imperative to ensure that pension is
disbursed to the eligible beneficiaries and as per the
guidelines of the scheme. For the purpose, C&AG has
been requested to arrange to get audit of the agency
banks as well as the State Treasuries in the matter of
disbursal of Central Samman Pension.
13.35.1 After careful examination the minimum age

limit for consideration of claims from the freedom
fighters for Samman pension has been fixed at above 15
years of age at the time of their participation in the
freedom movement.
13.35.2 As per Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension
Scheme, 1980, the disbursement of pension to the
freedom fighters and their eligible dependents is made
through various branches of Public Sector Banks and
State Treasuries spread all over the country. Since the
power to transfer the dependent family pension has
been delegated to the disbursing authorities, the data of
the Central samman pensioners / eligible dependents,
living and drawing pension from Public Sector Banks
and Treasuries was obtained in the year 2010. Some of
the data furnished by the Public Sector Banks was
scrutinized. The discrepancies found in disbursal of
pension were communicated to the banks and they were
advised to rectify the data and send the same to the
Ministry of Home Affairs.
13.35.6 In order to have uniformity in the payment of

Central Samman Pension and in order to have more
robust data, a decision has been taken to mandatorily
shift all the pensioners from the State Treasuries to the
Public Sector banks for payment of pension.
13.35.7 For effective monitoring of disbursement of
Central Samman Pension, for updation and
maintenance of data, a Pension Disbursement
Monitoring Cell has been set up in the Ministry.
13.35.8 For awareness and clear idea about the
policy governing Central Samman Pension, revised
policy guidelines have been issued and widely
circulated to the disbursing authorities.
13.35.3 In the last few months, the Ministry have had a

series of meetings with all the 25 banks and the 22 State
Governments who have been disbursing the pension.
With great efforts, the Ministry has been able to
ascertain the data of Central Samman Pensioners and
their detailed break-up. At present, number of living
freedom fighters/eligible dependents drawing pension is
38,669. Earlier in the year 2011, this number, as
reported by the Public Sector Banks and the State
Treasuries was approximately 49,000.
13.35.9 For allotment of transit accommodation in the

Freedom Fighters Home at New Delhi, the guidelines
have been liberalized and simplified. A decision has also
been taken to renovate the Freedom Fighters Home
making it more comfortable, old-age friendly and having
additional facilities.
13.35.10 For enhancing transparency in disposal of
applications for sanction of pension, fresh cases in
which freedom fighters pension is sanctioned as well as
the cases which are rejected, alongwith reasons for
rejection, are also uploaded on the Ministrys website on
monthly basis.
13.35.4 The disbursement of pension to the freedom

fighters has been reviewed constantly with all the Public
Sector Banks. During the review it was noticed that for
want of proper awareness of the policy guidelines of
disbursement of Central Samman pension, several
pensioners were getting less amount than what is due to
them. In these cases banks were directed to prepare
the arrears due to them and pay the same immediately.
Similarly, in several cases banks were paying excess

Refugees are of the following two categories:

arriving in India on their own are being rehabilitated
under various schemes in Tamil Nadu.
Stateless persons who had not applied for Indian

citizenship or those not yet conferred Sri Lankan
citizenship; and
Repatriates Cooperative Finance and Development

Bank Ltd. (REPCO), Chennai
Sri Lankan citizens.
13.42
REPCO Bank was set up in the year 1969 as
a Society under the Madras Cooperative Societies Act,
1961 (No. 53 of 1961) [now the Multi-State Cooperative
Societies Act, 2002 (No.39 of 2002)] to help and
promote the rehabilitation of repatriates from Sri Lanka,
Myanmar, Vietnam and other countries. The
management of the Bank vests in a Board of Directors.
Two of the Directors represent the Government of India.
The total authorized capital of the Bank stood at
`500.25 crore against which the amount of subscribed
capital is `115.75 crore. The Government of India has
contributed `76.32 crore, towards the paid-up capital.
Four Southern States Tamil Nadu (with `7.13crore),
Andhra Pradesh (`1.80 crore), Karnataka (`17.47 lakh)
and Kerala (`61.16 lakh) have also contributed to the
share capital. Repatriates have contributed `29.72
crore.
13.38
Government of Indias approach is to
discourage the movement of people as refugees but if
any refugees belonging to these categories do come,
they are granted relief on humanitarian grounds. The
ultimate objective is that they should be repatriated back
to Sri Lanka. Relief is given pending such repatriation.
13.39
While 99,469 refugees have been repatriated
to Sri Lanka upto March, 1995, there has been no
organized repatriation after March 1995. However,
some refugees have gone back to Sri Lanka or left for
other countries on their own. As on 31.12.2014, there
are 65,079 Sri Lankan refugees staying in 109 refugees
camps in Tamil Nadu and one camp in Odisha. Besides,
about 15,727 refugees are staying outside the camps,
after getting themselves registered at the nearest Police
Station.
13.40
Upon arrival, refugees are quarantined and
after complete verification of their antecedents, they are
shifted to refugee camps. Pending repatriation, certain
essential relief facilities are provided to them on
humanitarian grounds. These facilities include shelter
in camps, cash doles, subsidized ration, clothing,
utensils, medical care and educational assistance. The
entire expenditure on relief to Sri Lankan refugees is
incurred by the State Government and is subsequently
reimbursed by the Government of India. An amount of
`725 crore (approximately) has been spent by the
Government of India for providing relief and
accommodation to these refugees during the period
July 1983 to 31.12.2014.
13.43
As per its bye-laws, the administrative control
over REPCO is, at present, with the Government of
India. The Bank has paid an amount of `15.26 crore as
dividend @ 20% for the year 2013-14 to the
Government of India. Audit of the Bank is up-to-date.

conducted in April-September, 2010 and the second

phase - Population Enumeration in February-March,
2011. Data on Socio-economic and demographic
parameters like quantity and quality of housing,
amenities available and assets owned by the
households were collected during the first phase while

Timely processing of the voluminous data
collected at each Census, generating results for the
country for use in planning of various socio-economic
programmes has always been a challenge. Speedy
processing and compilation of Census data has
necessitated adopting the latest available IT
systems/technology at each Census in the past. Though
the data collection from the field across the Censuses
was hundred percent, its level of computerization has
varied from 5 to 45 per cent till 1991. After the advent of
sophisticated IT tools like Optical Mark Reader
(OMR)/Optical Character Recognition (OCR)/Intelligent
Character Recognition (ICR) etc., nearly 100% data
was captured through these IT tools for the first time at
the time of 2001 Census and the reports were released
within a period of 4-5 years in comparison to previous
Censuses when it used to take 8-11 years. In Census
2011, ORG&CCI has set very high standard for itself.
The objective is to convert 100% information recorded in
Census schedule to digital form through ICR
technology, besides, maintaining the quality and quick
release of Census results.

In addition to above activities, a central
electronic depository of all maps created for Census
2011 has been established at the office of the RG&CCI
and Data Centers of the DCOs. The Map resources
include, apart from the administrative maps at all levels,
more than 25 lakh scanned images of hand drawn
layout sketches, which are of immense use in
governance activities. The following Map products of
Census 2011 have been published so far:

In order to improve the quality and coverage of
Census taking, their quick retrieval, Geographic
Information System (GIS) based town mapping was
undertaken during Census 2011. For the first time, the
detailed ward maps were prepared showing each
house/ building, major and minor roads, lanes, by-lanes
and all important landmark features in 2132 wards in 33
State/UT Capital cities of the country. One of the
important features of the GIS based town mapping was
to prepare pre-carved out Enumeration Blocks (EBs)
and Supervisory Circle maps for ensuring the complete
coverage of all areas within these cities. Visualizing its
utility and importance during the Census 2011, the
detailed Ward mapping using High Resolution Satellite
Imagery has been further extended to cover Growth
Pole Centres of 6 Mega Cities and 31 Million plus Cities
of the country. The requisite satellite data from the
National Remote Sensing Center, Department of Space
has been procured and the manpower has been trained
on feature extraction, interpretation and analysis of
Satellite Imageries.

Data Dissemination
14.11
The most impor tant step after the
enumeration exercise and data processing is the
dissemination of the results for use by Governments,
NGOs National and International, Universities and
Institutes, scholars, students and other data users. With
this purpose in view, the Office of the Registrar General
& Census Commissioner, India is implementing an
elaborate data dissemination plan to keep the data
users informed about the utility and release of different
datasets including those on Population, SCs & STs,
literates, workers and non-workers, slum data, age data
and data on houses, household amenities and assets.

Another major innovative step taken by the
ORG&CCI is to set up Workstations for Research on
Sample Micro-Data from Census. This office has
entered into agreement with sixteen Universities for
setting up these Workstations during 12th Five Year Plan
(2012-17) for research by the local research scholars
and also by those from outside under the supervision of

Census Resource and Training Centre
(CRTC) was set up at ORG&CCI as a Centre of
Excellence for imparting training on Census
methodology and its operations to national and
international participants particularly from South Asian
and African Countries. Senior Officers from different
countries have visited the Centre since its inception.
During the current Financial Year, the officers from
Ethiopia have visited ORG&CCI to learn different aspect
of Census. Also several experts from ORG&CCI have
visited different countries to provide consultancy

There has been significant increase in the
level of registration of births in the States of Manipur
(+24.0%), West Bengal (+13.3%), Bihar (+13.2%),
Tripura (+10.1%), Uttarakhand (+5.9%), Jharkhand
(+4.5%), Karnataka (+4.3%) and Madhya Pradesh
(+4.2%) in 2011 as compared to that in 2010. There is a
marginal increase in level of registration of births in
Chhattisgarh (+3.3%), Odisha (+3.2%) and Sikkim
(+1.5%) during this period.

In terms of level of registration of deaths, the
States of Kerala, Mizoram and Union Territories of A & N
Islands, Chandigarh, Daman & Diu, Delhi and
Puducherry have achieved 100% level of registration of
death. More than 90 per cent of deaths are being
registered in the States of Goa, Haryana, Himachal
Pradesh, Karnataka, Nagaland, Punjab and Tamil
Nadu. There has been considerable improvement over
the previous year in death registration in the States of
Nagaland (+ 8.3%), Bihar (+ 7.1%), West Bengal (+
6.8%), Tripura (+5.6%), Meghalaya (+ 4.9%), Madhya
Pradesh (+4.3 %) and Jharkhand (+4.1%). The death
registration is below 30% in the States of Arunachal
Pradesh and Bihar. The level of registration of deaths is
lower than that of births in most of the States / UTs
except Chhattisgarh, Sikkim, A & N Islands, Dadra &
Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu. Lower level of death
registration may partly be attributed to non-reporting of
domiciliary deaths and deaths of females and infants.

Civil Registration System (CRS)
14.20
The registration of births and deaths in the
country is done by the functionaries appointed by the
State Governments under the Registration of Births and
Deaths (RBD) Act, 1969. The Registrar General, India
coordinates and unifies the registration activities across
the country while the Chief Registrars of Births and
Deaths are the chief executive authorities in the
respective States for executing the provisions of this Act
and the rules and orders made there under.
14.21
The proportion of registered births and deaths
has witnessed a steady increase over the years. The
registration level of births for the Country has gone up to
83.6%, registering an increase of 1.6 percent as per the
figures of 2011 over the previous year. On the other

in 1969-70 covering about 3,700 sample units. With a
view to monitoring the changes in vital rates, the SRS
sampling frame is revised every ten years, apart from
efforts for enhancing its scope and rationalizing the
system. The last SRS had 7,597 sample units (4,433
rural and 3,164 urban) spread across all States and
Union Territories, encompassing about 1.5 million
households and nearly 7.44 million population, which is
based on 2001 Census and was effective from
01.01.2004 to 31.12.2013.
Medical Certification of Cause of Death (MCCD)

14.25
The scheme of Medical Certification of Cause
of Death (MCCD) under the registration of Births and
Deaths (RBD) ACT, 1969 provides data on causes of
death, a prerequisite to monitoring health trends of the
population. Data received in prescribed forms are
tabulated as per the National List of Causes of Death
based on Tenth Revision of International Classification
of Disease (ICD- 10).
14.26
As per the Annual Report on "Medical
Certification of Cause of Death" for the year 2011, out
of the total registered deaths of 48,29,664 in 32
States/UTs, a total of 9,65,992 deaths (5,95,784 Males
and 3,70,208 Females) have been reported to be
medically certified.
14.29
From 01.01.2014, 8861 (4,964 Rural and
3,897 Urban) sample units have been selected based
on 2011 Census. The Baseline Survey is being
conducted on these newly selected samples. The data
is being collected directly on laptop computers. The
Half-Yearly surveys will also be done through direct data
collection on hand held devices. This will reduce
processing time resulting in early release of SRS
reports.
14.27
The coverage of MCCD is limited to selected
hospitals in urban area. Steps are taken by the States to
expand the scope of MCCD to all the medical
institutions.

The Sample Registration System (SRS) is a
large scale demographic survey for providing reliable
estimates of birth rate, death rate and other fertility and
mortality indicators at the national and sub-national
levels. The SRS is a dual record system that consists of
continuous enumeration of births and deaths by
resident part time enumerators and an independent half
yearly survey by supervisors. The unmatched data from
these sources are re-verified in the field. This process
makes it a self - evaluating system. The survey was

Annual Health Survey (AHS)

14.34
The Annual Health Survey (AHS) has been
conceived at the behest of the National Commission on
Population, Prime Minister's Office and Planning
Commission to yield benchmarks of core vital and
health indicators at the district level and to map its rate of
change on a continual basis to assess the efficacy of
various health interventions including those under
National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). The AHS would,
inter-alia, generate indicators such as Crude Birth Rate
(CBR), Crude Death Rate (CDR), Infant Mortality Rate
(IMR), Total Fertility Rate (TFR), Maternal Mortality
Ratio (MMR), Sex Ratio at Birth & host of other
indicators on maternal & child care, family planning
practices, etc. and changes therein on a year to year
basis at appropriate level of aggregations. The AHS is
being implemented in all the 284 districts of the
Empowered Action Group (EAG) States (Bihar,
Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha,
Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand) and
Assam (henceforth referred as AHS States) during the
